Developers should know all about this from reading their cvs mail: RCS file: /home/ncvs/src/sys/i386/conf/Attic/LINT,v Working file: LINT head: 1.783 ... ---------------------------- revision 1.783 date: 2000/06/13 22:28:46; author: peter; state: dead; lines: +1 -1 Borrow phk's axe and apply the next stage of config(8)'s evolution. ... There are a few things that I'm not too happy with yet. Under this scheme, things like LINT would no longer be useful as "documentation" of settings. I have renamed this file to 'NOTES' and stored the example hints strings in it. However... this is not something that config(8) understands, so there is a script that extracts the build-specific data from the documentation file (NOTES) to produce a LINT that can be config'ed and built. A stack of man4 pages will need updating. :-/ ... Please exercise EXTREME CAUTION when transitioning! Moral support by: phk, msmith, dfr, asmodai, imp, and others ---------------------------- It was the least traumatic part of the hints changes (since it only affects developers).
